Whoa! Who says moms aren't, like, totally cool? (except my son....)

This is very cute - if that describes skulls. Anyway, you did a great job, and I know your DD will love it.

My grand kids are really into those prints too! I think it's funny how they mix roses and skulls! The bag is awesome!! I would love one for myself, maybe not in that fabric :? Where did you find the pattern? :thumbup:

The name of the pattern is Bow Tucks Tote by Lazy Girl and it is available online and at your local quilt shop. there is also a Mini Bow Tuck pattern, but my lqs only had the full size so I just changed the pattern to the size I wanted. No biggie. Just took a little math

The button is a kit from craft/fabric store. It is in the sewing notions or button areas. Just ask and I am sure a clerk can help you. depending on the size of button you get either 3 or 4 buttons for around $5 to $7.

Thanks for all the kind comments. It really was fun to work with this fabric.

That is a really cool tote. Love all the pockets inside...The eyeball button is awesome, you chose the right part of the fabric for that...I'm sure she LOVES it.
